Orthobiologics

Orthobiologics is a treatment philosophy which involves the usage of several ‘biological’ substances for the treatment of orthopaedic conditions. They are basically injectable therapies which are given to cure a condition or for pain relief. Their most important trait is that they alter or improve the biology of a person to initiate ‘healing’. The conditions which can be treated by Orthobiologics include arthritis, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, sports injuries to muscles, etc. They have application in the knee, shoulder ankle, hip, back, wrist, elbow and heel. The various Orthobiologics can either be autogenous i.e., derived from the blood of the patient or exogenous, i.e., chemical substances which exert local biological effects with no generalized side-effects. 

Orthobiologics being used by Dr. Anshu Shekhar include:

  • Hyaluronic Acid – exogenous inert chemical substance
  • PRP – prepared from patient’s own blood
  • Autologous Conditioned Serum – prepared from patient’s own blood.
  • Inj. Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate – prepared from patient’s bone marrow

Almost all these injections are given under local anaesthesia and are painless. Their biggest advantage is their safety and absence of any general side-effects as can be seen after steroid injections.
